Rogers To Begin BlackBerry Bold Training

When it comes to Rogers BlackBerry Bold release dates, the blogosphere has been jinxed, with delay after delay making accurate-when-published rumored release dates wrong (say that 3x fast!). But we are getting close now. Dive into the forums and complete the tour de blogs, and you'll find all signs are pointing to an August 19th (maybe 20th) availability date.

Helping solidify that date, BBNews is reporting that Rogers employees will begin their BlackBerry Bold training next week! Topics to be covered include:

I'd think training would have already been completed a while back - seeing how pictures of Rogers-branded Bolds have been floating around for a while and our original rumored release dates have come and gone. All I know is August 19th can't come soon enough!! Any Canadians want to wait in line with me?? As for our AT&T friends, click here to read the latest status update.

Rogers To Begin BlackBerry Bold Training

RIM's product is all set to go. at this point all the delays are issues with the individual carriers and their service and how the software is functioning. Rogers and At&t's delays were mainly for reasons of coverage or software and are completely independent of eachother. AT&T will begin training for the bold when they get their own coverage and software issues figured out. HOpefully that will be within the next week or two :).

I'm not going to get my hopes up anymore regarding the release dates for the BOLD, I've had enough of all the dates we were given and no BOLD to show for it.
So that being said, I'll be happy when I actually have it in my hands.
THAT IS ALL!!

As for the Bold training, i was talking to somebody from Rogers last week. I just happen to ask them when they are getting the bold. I was told that they have no idea but they have started training, for the bold.
just thought i would add that comment..

I also can't wait for the bold to be released, my current curve is not handling my needs anymore and having the download video function will be a great advantage for me. I also agree that I thought rogers would have started there training for this phone already. Oh well but yes another week and it will be here I can't wait.

I talked to a rogers rep who said the 19th is the release date they have. He said they already did their training. The rep also said although the release date is on the 19th, not all stores will get the bold on that date. His store wouldn't get it till the 24th of August. Who cares though as long as its officially released on the 19th. Im starting to go crazy!!!
